REPUBLICANS PROPOSE HUNGER GAMES with their Budget!

We are at high unemployment and record profits for corporations and the wealthiest among us.  The Republicans have not produced any bills to create jobs and they have blocked any infrastructure rebuilding WHICH WOULD CREATE JOBS.  Now, the Republicans insist that food stamps and food subsidies to people be cut dramatically.  Basically, it is a Hunger Games scenerio.  Sad, but true.
Please watch Hunger Games if you have not already.

The prime target appears to be able-bodied beneficiaries under 50 years old and without dependents — a population that has grown significantly since 2008 because of the bad economy and increased state waivers of a 20-hour-a-week work requirement.
By rolling back these waivers, large savings are possible, essentially by forcing millions off the rolls if they don’t find work after three months. Unless approached with some care, the impact could be severe in areas of chronically high-unemployment, such as the Rio Grande Valley, poor urban areas and Indian reservations, for example. And the final details of the bill have not been made public.
